Jersey City Armory

The Jersey City Armory is a military training and mustering facility of the New Jersey National Guard located near McGinley Square in Jersey City, built in 1937. The Armory was built by the Works Progress Administration during the New Deal era, and it was long used as a sports arena, particularly for boxing, basketball, track and field events, and mixed martial arts. It was also leased to the community for community and political events, and its parking lot served as parking for students at the nearby Saint Peter's University.
